Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 20:23
"I am he of whom Moses spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 22:20
"A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you"

Shared words: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you

The prophet-like-Moses oracle's third corpus leg, now self-applied by its subject: Christ says 'I am he of whom Moses spake'. Near-verbatim with Nephi's quotation at 1 Nephi 22:20 (the sole divergences: 20:23 adds 'of your brethren' and reads 'every soul who will not hear' for 22:20's 'all those who will not hear'). Nephi had identified that prophet as 'the Holy One of Israel' (1 Nephi 22:21); 20:23 confirms the identification from the subject's own mouth. Mosiah 13:33 carries only the general 'did not Moses prophesy … concerning the coming of the Messiah' - it does not contain the 'prophet … raise up … like unto me' formula, which lives verbatim at 1 Nephi 22:20. Paired here with 1 Nephi 22:20 (the tight textual match). The interpretive chain mos-abinadi-moses-messiah (Mosiah 13:33 <-> 1 Nephi 22:20, on abinadi.md) weighs whether Abinadi's general summary intends this same oracle; that record is not addressed here. The Deuteronomy 18 source (Deuteronomy 18:15) is in-corpus (frozen) — noted, not drawn as this record's link.
